Winners revealed in Tettenhall Wood Photographic Club contest
The third round of the projected images competition was staged last week, and members displayed their work for critique by visiting judge Peter Gennard MFIAP EFIAP/D3, who had the unenviable task of determining the honours in the general, intermediate and advanced sections. We were treated to a varied selection of images with themes ranging from travel to portraiture and garden insects, and many others.
In the general section Martin Edwards images of ‘Meet me under Blackfriars Bridge’ and ‘Playing to the Gallery’ placed first and third; with ‘Early Morning Walk’ by Dave Ormerod taking second place. The highly commended images were ‘Pollinator’ by Ray Dulai and ‘A Splash of Colour’ by Bill Roberts. The commended images were ‘Beach Comber’ and ‘Straight Edges’ both by John Gainham, ‘Street Life’ by Dean Hardie and ‘Evening Walk’ by Bill Roberts.
For the intermediate section the first placed image was ‘Dunster Castle Chapel’ by Gaynor Ormerod, second and third places went to Trevor Swan for ‘Furnace Man’ and ‘Looking up Santa Margherita’. The highly commended images were ‘Mike’ by Mark Rock and ‘Paris Metro Life’ by Nigel Gooding. The commended images were ‘Spectator’ by Tony Davey, ‘Wave Rider’ by Gaynor Ormerod, and ‘Calla Lily’ and ‘Dancer’, both by Nigel Gooding.
First place in the advanced section went to John White for his image ‘Serenity’, ‘Attitude’ by Paul Reynolds was awarded second place and ‘In prayer’ by Malcolm Harris was third. The highly commended images were Malcolm Harris’ ‘I see now’ and ‘Sorceress of Light’ by Neil Kingsbury. The commended images were ‘Taking the Lead’ by Roger Paxton, ‘Poppies and Amaryllis’ by Delia Kingsbury, and ‘Wistful’ and ‘Feeding the Furnace’ both by Janet Griffiths.
The contenders for Photographer the Year are starting to emerge, with Martin Edwards and Ray Dulai from The General Section currently holding the top spots.
